Title: Z_2 Gauge Theory and Duality

Abstract: I will try and clarify the surprisingly obscure story underlying some of the simplest non-trivial dualities in theoretical physics: the self-duality of the Ising CFT, and bosonization, both in 2d. After explaining some important, oft-overlooked subtleties in these stories, I will discuss how they help us understand the relationship between various different dualities, and see where they crop up in analyzing 2d field theories.
